Emma

Oh my gosh! I can't remember the last time that I yelled at a movie so much! I didn't really know what to expect when I started watching this, but I did not expect Emma to be such a manipulating little brat! Yeah, she's definitely not a one-dimensional character (like the caricature known as Mrs. Elton, for example).
Ah yes, I should have known that the famous image of her with the bow and arrow was a not-so-subtle reference to cupid's arrow.
I just love a lot of the characters in this movie, like Mr. and Mrs. Weston, who are so kind and caring. And especially Mr. Knightley.  There are others, though less numerous, that are insufferable, like the Eltons. So for the most part, it's pretty easy to divide the characters into two camps: cool/awesome/likable and annoying/insufferable. (Even though Miss Bates can be kind of annoying, she still falls squarely into the first category because she's such a good, humble person.) Emma defies that classification as she straddles the line throughout much of the movie. She definitely married up.
I guess Mr. Knightly does kind of have a point. She did accept his chastisement graciously and sincerely. Fine. Ahh! I guess that's what makes the movie good: the unlikely pair gets married, right?
I was also pretty happy when a saw a familiar face playing the part of Miss Smith: it's Cole's mom from The Sixth Sense (Toni Collete)!
